(Central News Agency reporter Wu Xinjun, Taipei, 17th) Taiwan plans to open up migrant workers from India to come to Taiwan, but public opinion still carries stereotypes. The Ministry of Labor said today that the performance of Indian migrant workers has been recognized by other countries. In the era of global competition for talent, Taiwan should seize the opportunity. Otherwise, the lack of work may aggravate industrial and household risks.
Taiwan and India signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Labor Cooperation (MOU). The two parties will subsequently complete the exchange of letters in accordance with the procedures and convene a working-level meeting as soon as possible to discuss details such as future open industries and amounts, source regions of migrant workers, employment qualifications, and recruitment methods. However, as soon as the news came out, many public opinions in society still carried stereotypes, including believing that Indian migrant workers have a high crime rate and worrying about affecting public security.
Cai Mengliang, director of the Workforce Development Administration of the Ministry of Labor, told a reporter from Central News Agency today that India has a large population and many high-quality workers and talents. Their work performance has been recognized in various countries. Indian migrant workers also cherish overseas work, are dedicated and hard-working.
Cai Mengliang said that according to statistics, there are more than 18 million migrant workers in India working overseas, distributed in many countries around the world, of which there are as many as 8.5 million in the Middle East. In Europe and the United States, Indian migrant workers are even more popular in Italy. India is the second largest source of migrant workers, with a population of 210,000, and Germany has 50,000. Observing the trend of exporting migrant workers from India to other countries, people do not actually have to worry about crime.
At present, Taiwan has open and introduced source countries for migrant workers, including Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Cai Mengliang mentioned that everyone used to worry about the security problems caused by migrant workers, but according to the survey data of the Police Department, the overall crime rate of migrant workers is actually not high. 1/2 of the people arriving in the country, which shows that most migrant workers are law-abiding, because if they do not abide by the law, their employment permit will be revoked and they will be sent back to their country.
Cai Mengliang said that the performance of Indian migrant workers in various countries is obvious to all, and many countries are now cooperating with India, including Japan, which has cooperated with India to introduce them, and South Korea, which is currently negotiating. In addition, Israel, which opened the door to Indian migrant workers early, is experiencing labor shortages due to war factors. We also give top priority to Indian migrant workers and expand the introduction of them. It is obvious that Indian migrant workers are recognized and welcomed globally. “Otherwise, there would not be such a trend.”
Cai Mengliang also emphasized that although all countries must cooperate with India to introduce migrant workers, the government will not neglect the planning work related to the introduction of Indian migrant workers. In the future, it will definitely effectively screen and allow high-quality Indian migrant workers to come to Taiwan, including those imported from India in the future. Migrant workers must not have criminal records, and are also required to have certain academic experience, professional skills training, etc.
Cai Mengliang said that the government will discuss in detail with the Indian side at subsequent working-level meetings how to open up the introduction of Indian migrant workers in the future and public concerns about public security, collect opinions and make careful and complete plans. The public does not need to worry.
Tsai Meng-liang also emphasized that the whole world is experiencing a shortage of workers and a shortage of workers. Taiwan must also compete with other countries for talent. Japan, South Korea and Singapore are all expanding the introduction of migrant workers. Under this situation, if Taiwan cannot seize the opportunity and its attitude is not positive enough, , may lose opportunities, and may cause more risks to industries and families amid Taiwan’s labor shortage.
